Last night up n free for 40 minutes. Walking down the hallway well unassisted. But turning the walker is what I can't figure out, but I know that difficult part is helping / strengthening. Did squats, 15, 12. Lisa helped me walk back to room, tired and sweaty. I also let get of the walker for 15 shoulder shrugs, I need to do that more. Also drank some water standing holding on with one hand.

Wore out when I sat on the bed but rested and worked on some sit ups, not 5 though, maybe 5 sets of 1. I need to find out which muscles will benefit from a day of rest.

Exercises at work day 4.

Up n free about 35 minutes, spasms but feet didn't hurt. Again walked the hall unassisted but turning, a hang up. But I stopped in between hangups / trying hard and did 4 sets of squats, 10, 5, 6, 7 I decided to not push my feet until they spasm. I used a lot of energy turning the walker back toward the room but it was good. Lisa helped me walk back but a little less help tonight.

Started a simple new exercise today that I hope to do regularly and see the benefits. With ankle weights around each ankle did 5 sets of 15 leg lifts. I hope / need to add / build on these easy exercises that I think about but never start, I know there will be benefits.

Used strap on weights on arms, 3 x 8 on biceps. Left arm found weight really heavy, hope to be consistant and see progress.

Used strap on weights on left hand and lifted arm palm up 3 x 8. Right arm shoulder lift 3 x 8.

Walked 30 steps with regular walker, a lot better step throughs today. Maybe the weights? Maybe wearing my right calf stretch brace earlier? I can really struggle with my walking sometimes and then one day a big difference. It shows that I can be much better.
